Pakistan to change legal team in Kulbhushan Jadhav case after losing round 1 to India at ICJ

After losing the 1st round of legal hearing at ICJ, Pakistan’s foreign policy chief Sartaj Aziz confirmed that Pakistan will form new team of lawyers. In a major diplomatic and legal victory for India, the International Court of Justice on Thursday asked Pakistan not to execute Kulbhushan ​Jadhav until its final decision.

The legal team who fought for Pakistan was widely denounced after ICJ’s order to stay Jadhav’s execution. Currently Pakistan is in the midst of selecting a new legal team. A law ministry official in Islamabad confirmed that “Some law firms have been approached by the ministry of law to discuss such a possibility.”
